An exercise

On checking your impulses to use the queen first.

Or a test in whether you recognize the dovetail mate when you see it...

...because the reason the king can't escape via g3 is because Qf2 is checkmate.

...checking your impulses to use the queen first.

How can black check an impulse when there isn't an impulse on the board.

How about "suppress" your impulse. Maybe there is a fantasy chess version where there is a piece called an impulse.
